The second you plug in and turn on a Randall amplifier, you'll certainly have no problem making heads turn in your direction. In fact, countless influential musicians from around the world have counted on Randall amps and effects to bring their skills to the forefront, including Chuck Schuldiner, Kurt Cobain, and Dimebag Darrel. Of course, you don't have to have aspirations of stardom to enjoy Randall's unmistakable tone. Even if you just enjoy playing for fun, Randall's catalog of amps and effects has something for every taste and playing application, from 15-watt practice amps to 75-watt combos.

So what exactly are you looking for? Randall has plenty of options, and for that reason alone, it's best to consider your own needs and preferences before making any big decisions. For example, if you play in a metal band that's planning on hitting the local club circuit, you'll definitely want something that packs a wallop, and for that, the RG1003H 100W Solid State Guitar Head is just the answer. A solid-state work of art through and through, this guitar head offers three channels, spring reverb, an FX loop, and a 1/8" stereo media input. Simply put, if bone-crushing heavy metal tone is what you crave, then this head is what you want.

Of course, no shredder's setup is complete without a boost pedal, and the Randall MOR would satisfy the needs of any dedicated headbanger. From clean to aggressive, this one knob boost pedal is built like a tank, and it works in multiple patching configurations. While we're on the subject of pedals, you might also want to check out the RGOD Guitar Preamp Pedal. Featuring the classic Randall FET Overdrive, this pedal contains two channels with Gain and Level, three EQ knobs with a presence knob, and much more all enclosed in a heavy-duty exterior. On stage or in the studio, the RGOD Guitar Preamp Pedal is bursting with tone-shaping abilities.

In this day and age, your amp and effects options are seemingly endless, but finding an amp or effect that's rugged, versatile, and loaded with tonal possibilities is easier than you think. All you have to do is stick with the name that top-recording artists have been relying on since 1970, and that name is Randall.
